LEDBlinky Animation Editor (Beta v1.0.0.1)
dna disturber:
I second that E-motion !
I for one am glad to see this great editor.....
Still had no time to make my own animation BUT
when I do..... the work will be done in notime because of your great work.
So thanks again Arzoo :applaud: :notworthy:
And just as Randy said I think it'll be used more than you think
Keep up the good work !!!

Updated to version 1.0.0.1
Fixed a couple of bugs when using the arrows keys to move around the LEDs.
Randy, DNA, headkaze - thanks for your posts!

Great app Arzoo! Thanks for taking the time to contribute this. I find the frame handling controls very easy to use, and the configuration of the panel in layout mode is nice. I'm using the version included with the latest LEDBlinky btw, LEDBlinky integration is seemless. Again, very nice utility ;D
I haven't find any bugs, I have a couple of usability suggests from my own testing, mainly to do with things you can do with groups of objects. It would be cool if selecting multple buttons in the layout editor would allow them to be dragged together. Similarly when animating, it would be cool if right click events like ramp rates applied to all selected items. I find myself liking to use ledwiz ramps alot, so in my case it would actually be handy to have all of the possible led assignments (such as ramp) down with the Intensity sliders. Anyway, thanks! I'm going to have a lot of fun with this.

pod,
It's good to hear that the editor is working bug-free. By the way, you can drag all selected LEDs - just hold Crtl while you drag. As for the built-in blinking, I didn't think it was really useful because you can't sync the hardware blinking with the software - I guess I may have to rethink the feature and make it easier to use.
If you can, post a video of your animations when you're done - I'd like to see how you used the LEDWiz ramps.

Hi Arzoo, here's a very poor video of a couple of my animations using ramps. I'll try to get some better captures from a different cam. Mine does a very bad job of capturing the low intensity buttons (looks like the pwm freq on the led wiz is so low my cam captures it as flickering, it looks much better in person). Anyway, maybe it gives you some idea of how I'm using the animation editor with ramps.
Something else I noticed, there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the individual ramps on an RGB led, so it always shows ramp effects as white. Playing around with the ledwiz taskbar control and experimenting with different RGB values with various ramps/intensities allows for some kindof cool color effects. Maybe I could achieve this by adding three separate leds in the layout instead of the single RGB to get this type of effect?
